Paracord Tillley Hat Band

My newest little craft doesn't involve little painted miniatures at all. I was struck with the urge to make a hat band for my Tilley hat and picked up some paracord. I believe this is a 'cobra knot' though all of this knot stuff is super easy after watching youtube. 

I think there's a bit of hyped 'survival' gear aspect to paracord online which is a bit silly, but I think the band itself adds a little flair to my hat. Just to say I did though, I added some hidden fishing line, hooks and weights into the weave and also a P38 can opener. You never know when a survival situation might arise and all you have is your Tilley hat and need to open a can of beans...

The hat's drawstring weaves into the knot so it won't fall off.
